Assos Equipe RSR S11 Bib Shorts

The pinnacle of racing technology, combining our lightest, most compressive textiles with aggressive second-skin aerodynamics. Engineered for ultra-endurance races at unrelenting intensity.

More breathable, more compressive, more aerodynamic – the EQUIPE RSR S11 replaces the RSR SUPERLÉGER S9 as the most advanced Racing Series short in ASSOS history. The new textile wrapping the large muscle groups of the legs is our most compressive Kompressor textile to date, providing firm support to reduce the accumulated fatigue from micro-vibrations during hours of high-intensity riding. The seat and core are wrapped in the less compressive Type.911, which is the main textile of the RS S11 and R S11 bib shorts, employed here to relieve pressure on sensitive areas. The combination of compressive, ultra-elastic textiles allowed us to remove the rollBar while maintaining 360-degree stability, and the raw-cut waist eliminates restriction.The new RSR S11 insert incorporates the same low-volume, microshock-absorbing comfort and hyper cooling airflow of the RS S11 insert, but it includes additional shock-absorbing modules beneath the ischial bones, oriented for maximum effect in aggressive riding positions.

Technologies

Featured Fabrics

The all-new Type.959Kompressor is a proprietary woven textile that's more breathable, more cooling, and more compressive than previous Kompressor materials. It also protects the rider with increased abrasion resistance, and its integrated anti-slip properties eliminate shifting and friction. The seat and core are wrapped in the Type.911 textile that defines the rest of the Racing Series – a soft, compressive, and ultrabreathable textile that remains deeply, fully black, even while stretching. Both textiles are UPF 50+.

Contruction / Fit

The AEDP flederMann pattern is a second-skin, aerodynamic racingFit designed with WorldTour feedback and proven with WorldTour results. Micro-adjusted shaping wraps the large muscles with compressive support in a longer, more aerodynamic leg length.

Endurance Compression

Muscle-wrapping support that reduces fatigue during multi-hour, high-intensity rides. The textile panels are arranged to maximize compressive benefits.

Electrified Grip

Integrated anti-slip yarns are woven directly into the KOMPRESSOR textile, providing frictionless, uninterrupted grip around the thigh.

X-Frame

An A-frame suspension that limits sag on the lower back, stabilizing the insert and main body panel during high-intensity riding. Anchored across the shoulders by our lightest bib straps.

Shock-Absorb Damping System Twin 13

A two-layer racing platform of 9mm foam supplemented with 4mm ultra Distance inserts under the ischial bones. Thermoformed shaping eliminates ridges and irritation.

KraterCooler

Perforations in the inserts' leading edge draw intercooling air to maintain breathability and a dry, cool microclimate.

WhirlKrater

Perforations distributed throughout the insert create a whirlwind of cooling airflow instead of just a unidirectional breeze.

Mineral Tec Surface

A soft, ultrasmooth coversheet that reduces friction and irritation while promoting comfort with quick-drying properties and permanent odorControl.

GoldenGate 2.0

The insert is attached at front and rear with floating sides and center, letting it move with your body rather than against it. New cut-outs on the sides reduce volume and friction throughout the pedal stroke.
